Today was all about aviation, with a day spent at Eindhoven Airport to catch some of the participants taking part in Falcon Leap 2026. As always with military aviation, the anticipation of what might arrive made the day even more exciting. The main goal was to see the aircraft involved in the exercise, but Eindhoven had a few surprises in...

It was a fantastic day filled with a wonderful variety of helicopters, jets and propeller aircraft, making it a truly memorable experience for every aviation enthusiast and spotter present.

My visit to the Technik Museum Speyer was a memorable journey through the history of aviation, engineering and space exploration. The museum is one of those places where the sheer scale of the exhibits makes an immediate impression. Instead of simply looking at photographs or reading about historic machines, you are able to stand directly beside...

My recent spotting trip to Ramstein Air Base (ETAR/RMS) provided an excellent opportunity to observe the airlift activity associated with one of the most important U.S. military airfields in Europe. Ramstein remains a major hub for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and is particularly interesting for aviation enthusiasts because of the constant mixture of...

For many aviation enthusiasts, military aircraft are fascinating in their own right. For a select group of spotters and photographers, however, the greatest thrillcomes from pursuing something even more unique: special paint schemes.

The base visit organised by Spottersgroup Leeuwarden (AGL) was unfortunately a disappointing experience from a photography perspective. Although the opportunity to visit the airbase was appreciated, the time allocated on the flight line was far too limited to make the most of the event.

The first two days at Leeuwarden Air Base have been highly successful and productive. The primary objective has been to photograph the participating aircraft.

My 2026 military aircraft spotting season has already been an incredible journey across several European airbases. The year started with unforgettable visits to places like Nörvenich Air Base, Eindhoven Air Base, and Gilze-Rijen Air Base, each offering its own unique atmosphere and impressive aircraft movements.

The road to Air Bilzen felt ordinary at first, flat fields, quiet houses, nothing to suggest what waited ahead. Even when I arrived, the place didn't announce itself loudly. It was a B&B, after all. Calm, welcoming, unassuming.

My second visit to the Traditiekamer Typhoon at Volkel Air Base felt different from the moment I stepped inside. The first time, I was overwhelmed—in the best possible way—by the sheer richness of the collection: decades of history carefully preserved in uniforms, patches, logbooks, photographs, scale models, and aircraft parts that once soared...
